While writing my previous post, I started thinking about the other "new" bridal collections unveiled recently. Both White House Black Market and Anthropologie had highly anticipated bridal collections in the past few months.
Both seem like natural fits in the wedding world - WHBM already makes beautiful elegant dresses, and Anthropologie has sort of a cult following from eclectic, vintage style brides.
So, let's take a look at what they have to offer.
You can access White House Black Market's bridal collection - which includes wedding gowns, bridesmaids dresses, jewelry, shoes, and accessories directly on their site or in store. Anthropologie has an entirely different website - the line is called Beholden, which apparently you are supposed to spell like BHLDN (confusing, right?!)
Here are some of my favorite WHBM choices:
I was very excited to hear about Anthropologie's venture into the wedding world. They were already an inspiration for brides to be, with their vintage, romantic clothes and accessories. Many brides I've worked with have described their style as "Vintage, earthy, and Anthropologie like." Anthropologie inspiration always made me picture an outdoor wedding with wooden tables, pale pink and ivory peonies and hydrangeas, and vintage teacups. Their collection, BHLDN, currently includes wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, accessories and lingerie - and in May, will include cake stands and other decor essentials.
Here are some of my favorites.
Their prices are a little more steep - shoes start at about $300, and dresses can go upward of $3,000. But, if you are shopping at Anthropologie, chances are you are probably expecting that. Anthropologie is the only store that I would buy a $12 coffee mug from. But, hey, it was cute!
So which collection do you like better? White House Black Market screams city chic to me, while I picture an upscale garden party for the Anthropologie bride. Which one are you? Which dress is your favorite?
